Adjourned from Jaae Session.
'Thl la practicality a meeting adjourned
from the quarterly gathering In New York,
June 30. The board member get together
iirery three months, usually In Washlng
. ton In April, when the president, tho chief
'Justice and the secretary of. war, who are
ex-offlclos, to meet with us; In July at New
York; In September at Dayton and down
aouth in the winter. From theee point
they go to visit the branches nearest.
"Prior to the civil war the nation had no
home for volunteer soldiers, but tbe.Day-
ton or central home was provided for la
1M1 under the organic act of March 81,
JS65. In order of establishment the others,
which are known as branches, came -thus:
Milwaukee, 1868; Togus, Me., 1868; Hamp
ton. Vc., .1869; Leavenwerth, Kan., 1885;
Lo Angeles, 1887; Marion, Ind., 1889; Dan
ville 111., 1897; Johnson City, Tenn., 1901,
ntf then this last for the Springs.
"Th mountain branch in Ttnnesaee Isn't
rrady for occupancy yet, but at those al
eady established w are caring for about
38.000 of the old vet-ran, 8,000 of whom are
at th Dayton Institution. The rest ar at
the various branches to th number of be-
, tweea 2,600 and 3.000 each which Is more
'hin aby branch was originally Intended to
"tcoromodat.
Why Hones Arm Needed.
'". may seem somewhat surprising that
v have now more wards than ever before,
' but it must be remembered that In the last
two yar of the civil war there was a very
heavy enlistment of very young men, who
ar now Just entering their sixties snd
feeling the effect of old wounds and dis
eases. From I he ranks of those who fought
In the late wars w have received very few
as fret possibly less than 100. The average
age of the lumates now I between (2 and 63
yers. The only requirement are honora
ble discharge from the servlc and wounds
or disease which date from the war and now
render them Incapable of supporting them
stives. ,
"The premises of all the homes ar In
lilgh state of Improvement and the proper
tlei represent millions. Each home, too,
ba Its own cemetery, kept In the very best
of condition, and whenever an Inmate cf the
home Is celled he Is given a military fu
' 11 era 1 with martial band and honorary es
. i ort, and Is burled In his uniform. I men
tion the' things not as new particularly,
but as reminder of how considerate the
government that he helped to save Is of the
American soldier, even after death. By
, contrast, the pension paid by the British
government cr the Invalage of the French
Keenii small Indeed.
Aid far State Homes.
'Ant In ajlilWlAn ,
national homes the government pays,
through our board, money for. each sol
dier cared for at the state soldiers'
homes at the rate of 8100 per year, minus
' one-halt the amount of pension money
which some of the state homes sometimes
retain. This latter figure Is very small,
however, and of the disposition of the
money given w have nothing to say. 8o
tar as we are concerned a state home
may spend It as it sees fit, but a quarterly
report I made to thl board that we may
have knowledge of what I being done.
The aim I that the state home shall
provide fqr their inmates as well as the
natloual home does. There are twenty
nine of them In twenty-six states (Ne
braska, New York and New Jeraey each
have two) and their inmate number
about 10.000, I believe. '
"For th Hot Springs establishment
ther I n appropriation of (140,000 and
320,000 for th transportation of men
who ar to be cent ther and for similar
expenditures that will be necessary. Hot
Springs. 1 understand. Is to furnish the
ground and doubtless Captain Palmer has
had some correspondence with th people
there, but the board ha not been officially

Despite the cloud-laden skies which
emitted light shower at interval during
the afternoon the usual big Sunday attend
ance waa attracted to Krug park yesterday
and the animation and pleasant expressions
of those present atteated the fact that hap
piness reigned supreme. The swings and
see-saws were crowded with children whose
enthusiasm waa even more prooounced
than the adults. Afternoon and evening
program by Huster's splendid concert
band, embracing popular selection by the
standard composers, delighted the music
lovers, while a trombone solo by J. L.
Klin, who made hi local debut In this
role, received warm applause. That which
probably attracted more special attention
was th moving picture of the Mont Pelee
volcanic disaster, which is being featured
for th second week, which wa recom
mended by the big crowds It has at
tracted. It five a vivid idea of th ter
rible catastrophe, ahowlng th eruption
and th pouring down of the redhot lava
on the doomed city of St. Pierre, through
which the maddened Dames sweep. Two
performances by the Loretto family. In
eluding Norlne and Pauline, the youngest
horliontal bar performer In the world,
contributed the most pretentious and pleas
lnc vaudeville feature. Prof. J. Waldorf
Hall used his ninety-four foot ballon,
which Is constructed to carry two people
and cave a thrilling high ascension es
timated a th highest of the season. As
he went upward he gave an exhibition on
the trapese. Miss Venetta, the cornet
vlrtuosa, rendered four numbers. The
burro excursions, bowling alleys, tnerry-go-rounds,
shooting courts and the other
pastime devices and the cafe had a heavy
patronage.
MESSENGER BOYS VICTORIOUS

CHICAGO, July 27. The strfke of the
Illinois District Telegraph company's

late hour tonight.

number of people. The night being a rainy
one few were able to attend th entertain
ment.
While cattle and hog receipt at the
stock yarus her continue to show an In
crease over the same period of time last
year, ther la a deficit In sheep receipts.
Commission men, however, expect that a
large proportion cf the deficiency In sheep
receipts will be made up before the end
of the year.
A great deal of Interest Is being manifest
by those dealing In live stock In the con
dition of cattle on the ranges. Heavy ship
ment of grass cattle are looked for before
long, and additional facilities for the bund
ling of heavy runs have been provided by
the management of the Stock Yards company.
In talking about conditions In Wyoming
last evening, a well known Wyoming stock-
grower said that unless the early summer
signs fall Wyoming cattle sent to this
market this fall will rank well with any
shipped here last year and topped the mar
ket. Herds In the eastern part of Wyo
ming are in excellent condition and give
promise of Improving before being shipped.
Timely rains have redeemed the Injury
done by the dry spell earlier In the season
and the range grass Is now as good as It
was last year at this time. What is wanted
now, said this stockman, 1 for the feed
to get Into condition for curing and thus
provide late fall pasturag. A great deal
of cow atuff will be shipped here this sum
mer and fall on . account of the govern
ment's order directing that range fences
be taken down. It Is expected here that
heavy shipments of grass cattle will tend
to break the market to some extent and
result In cheaper beef.
Building; Utah School Annex.

on the three-room frame addition to the
High school annex, Twenty-sixth and M
streets. The excavating for the founda
tion 'has been completed and material 1
arriving on th ground dally. While It
may not be possible to complete and fur
nish this addition by the time school opens
In September the contractor expects to be
able to turn the building over to the school
district by the end of September.
With the three additional rooms at this
annex the overcrowded condition of the
lower grades at the Central school will be
relieved, thus giving more room for the
more advauced pupils. '
The two-room addition to the Hawthorne
school will also help to reduce the pressure
at the High school building and will tend
to do away with the renting of outside
rooms at Twentieth and L streets.
It la the Intention of the Board of Edu
cation to let th contract for the two-room
addition to the Albright school as soon a
the details can be arranged.

paper. And this I how it all came about:
Special Agent Llewellyn received a let
ter Sunday from Special Agent Clark, tem
porarily in charge of the headquarters of
the western division at Denver, containing
personal aa well aa official Information.
Among other things the letter referred to
an enclosed newspaper clipping with th
bop that the matter referred tp might not
come to the attention of the department at
Washington, a It might mak trouble, but
with th added assurance that if It did the
boy would surely stand behlrd him.
Search for the clipping, however, proved
fruitless, as ths -writer had plainly for
gotten to enclose It. Llewellyn racked
his brain to discover what mischief ho had
been into that should be taken up by the
newspaper. Th more he thought about
it the more scary ho became, knowing the
verity of the discipline enforced by hi
superior officer in the rural free delivery.
Unablo to contain himself he finally wired
hi friend Clark: "No clipping In letter.
